Subject: чьей
Ты не мной обманутый, а самим собой!
Нет вины ни чьей никакой.

You have not been deceived by me but by yourself!
There is no blame nor (?) whatsoever.

I am having trouble making sense of чьей in this context

remember U2:
"Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame"

по аналогии:
You got no one to blame...

Technically чьей is the genitive, dative, instrumental and prepositional for чья ('whose'{fem,sg,nom})

But in this stanza I'd expect чьей to be part of ничьей (gen, dat, instr, prep for ничья), so the two words are supposed to be one (ничьей).

Нет вины ничьей никакой = No-one is to blame in any way.

You've been deceived (or: cheated) not by me, but by yourself.
